In an attempt to justify and backup the Mark Zuckerberg’s claims of Facebook’s intense efforts to kibosh objectionable content, the tech giant released aFacebook Community Standards Enforcement Report.
The maiden report spans across 81 pages and talks in detail about the metrics on enforcement on six different key areas namely graphic violence, adult nudity, and sexual activity, terrorist propaganda (ISIS, al-Queda and affiliates), spam, hate speech and fake accounts.
The data contained in the report analyzes the period between October 2017 and March 2018.
Enlisted below are some of the major statistics highlighted in the report:
The report is a clear indication of the fact that Facebook is committed to making the platform an amiable place for users. Although the fact that report spurts just numbers and no examples were displayed to back the numbers. This jeopardizes the credibility of the report.
Moreover, through this report, Facebook has clearly self-praised its AI system and has reassured the Zuckerberg’s statements in his hearing before the US Senate regarding Artificial Intelligence being one of the most efficient methods to filter the large number of contents.
